I had a scary dream in which I was with a group of people I had didn't know, and yet in the dream they were my friends. They were young American college students. There was 3 boys and 2 girls. In the dream we were make run away from someone we couldn't see who threatened our lives. I was being the only practical one. Everyone else kept arguing and on of the boys (A) was angry cause he was an ex of one of the girls (B) and she kept bringing her new boyfriend along (C). (A)kept dragging (B) aside and kissing her which made the girl and me angry because we weren't getting anywhere with the two of them arguing. So while we were in the middle of an indoor market (I'm quite sure i was abroad)The other guy (D) was hitting on the other girl (E) but (E) was pretending not to be interested and they made me angry because instead of listening to me and running away with me they were flirting and browsing the stalls. Eventually they all finally get spooked and start trying to run away. We try to get out of the building we were in but it's massive and none of us are familiar with it. We start going up stairs, I have to keep dragging (A) along by the hand because he's depressed over (B) and (C) I think I may have liked him in the dream but the fear and annoyance were far more predominant. Anyway we eventually reach an extremely narrow stair way that winds around this tower like structure it has walls on either side of the stairs and a small handrail. Everyone else has gone up this stairway. So i follow with (A) in tow. It's gets narrower and narrower as we reached the top so that we have to walk sideways and the handrail makes it difficult to move. At the top there's a doorway and we go inside, there we find the other 4 leaning over an indoor balcony looking down at the market below. I suddenly notice the room is entirely make of metal and this is familiar to me and scares me to the point of screaming we had to get out but the room had started shaking already and the was a load roaring noise as the room moves and then flies though the air. I start panicking knowing this was a trap the man had set for us and we were being whisked toward our deaths. Then as the room landed in front of an airport it transformed into a taxi where I immediately got out, pushing out (A) because he was between me and the door. everyone else was completely ignoring my hysterical screams for the to get out of the cab but i was clutching my backpack and money and was going to buy a ticket out of there but they were ignoring me. My aunt and her son were sitting behind me, behind a low wall, playing chess and chatting to each other and when i asked them for help they only barely acknowledge me with a glance. there's a stranger sitting near them but i feel like i should know him. I turn my attention back to the taxi and see it starting to pull away, i lunge for the door thinking that i left my things in the car and was going to be stranded but they weren't inside and the other 4 were telling me to leave. All my stuff was already in my hands. I start screaming and screaming again for them to get out of the car and i start crying but then i wake up terrified and in a cold sweat. I think i shouted myself awake. Please tell me what this means. I have the exact same theme of a dream a few nights running now but each scenario I try to deal with differently, The first time I didn't bring anything with me and I lost everyone and ended up being captured and tortured, the second time I tried to bring a few things with me but we took so long leaving our original starting point that the other two girls were killed gruesomely before our eyes. and this time was my third dream.

Please help me try to figure this out, i woke up crying the previous two nights and just now was screaming, my heart is still pounding and i had to turn on all the lights because i have a terrible habit of slipping straight back into nightmares if i fall asleep again.

i think i should add, I'm 20, and i live in ireland, so i have no idea why the group was american college students... I'm the same age in the dream. Emm, I have been depressed alot for a while now but I'm trying to turn my life around. I recently had an emotional break with a friend who meant alot more to me than i did to him and to stop myself being hurt so much I decided to never speak to him again and he keeps sending me little messages.

If you have any more questions needing answering I'll gladly do so. I need to figure out whats going on in my head that I'm not able to find out myself.

I started out in the second and third dreams calmly, knowing what was going on but still doing silly things like in last nights dream I packed 3 golf umbrellas and a childs umbrella (the exact same one i have in my umbrealla bucket downstairs), my red riding jacket that has lost all it's waterproofing, pens, a teddy, some other clothes, money, passport, some paper, some food and about 20 500ml bottles of water... All in a backpack no bigger than say a womans purse. But no matter how i try to solve things, I always end up being terrified to the point where I cant think clearly and getting distracted by the other 5 people so I cant solve how to get out of this dream. I'm quite sure getting on the plane is the answer because evetually getting to an airport is common in the dream. But in the instance with the taxi as soon as the taxi pulled away the second time, i could see the door locking the other 4 people in and the driver was other-worldy creepy, almost skeletal face with a terrifying evil grin. I think someone restrained me around the waist from running screaming after the car. Like I said earlier I have no idea who any of these faces are in my dream i dont have any american friends like them. But in my dream even though i dont know their names, they are supposedly friends of mine.

I'll keep trying to figure this out, please help me in any way possible
